Porto Roxa Zakynthos

Porto Roxa, we find it in the southwestern part of Zakynthos not far from Agios Leon village and the beautiful fjord of Porto Limnionas.

In a small gulf bathed by a transparent and crystalline sea, it is surrounded like an embrace by a seductive rock cliff and in reality it does not have a beach, but terraces of steps carved in stone that lead to the sea where, among other things, it is possible. for the lucky ones to dock the boat. A natural fjord with a wild landscape, cold waters with various shades of blue and immediately deep sea bottoms.

Paradise for snorkelers, given its confirmation, it is particularly generous in marine fauna to be discovered and observed. Don't forget a mask, fins and an underwater camera to capture unforgettable moments. Even those who love to "wallow" in Porto Roxa will find the optimal environment to indulge in a regenerating, healthy and peaceful swim in a fabulous sea.

On the rocks you will find sunbeds and umbrellas that can be rented by simply consuming and enjoying the natural beauty and peace of Porto Roxa as being the road to reach it is not so easy and not having the classic sand or pebble coast, it is frequented only by lovers of this type of shoreline. Do not miss the moment of sunset when Mother Nature mixes suggestive colors better than a skilled painter, making the moment spectacular and romantic. Perfect to admire it perhaps lying comfortably on a rocking double bed that you can find in the beaches.

For those who, in addition to pristine nature and a screaming sea, also want to combine a little fun, there are trampolines available (one at a height of 4 meters) where you can enjoy spectacular dives and show off in the eyes of the blonde. of the brunette next to you.

Being all rock, our advice is to have rock shoes so as to avoid slipping and hurting you and protect your feet by discovering among the boulders. There are some taverns to eat and drink, excellent for savoring the flavors of Zakynthos, however we invite you to bring something extra, especially if you decide to spend the whole day there.

It is necessary to have a rental vehicle that is a car or scooter is fine or with a taxi as there are no public transport rides. Wherever you are staying, head to the west coast about halfway through the island following the signs for Limnionas which is ultimately two kilometers south of Porto Roxa, or for Agios Leon. The road as on the other hand throughout the island of Zakynthos is a continuous ups and downs but doable in peace. You will arrive at your destination when you meet the parking lots that give directly onto the taverns where you can rent deckchairs and parasols.

It could be a good opportunity to explore and discover both fjords, both magnificent but with the difference that Porto Limnionas being more scenic is very crowded especially during the high season, while Porto Roxa is more peaceful and perfect for a day of relaxation until the magic of the sunset.

A visit to this little corner of Eden so different from the usual beaches of the Greek Islands should be noted on the list of things to do in Zakynthos.
